DR.. McGlynn's side of the case having
been published, it is likely that the con-
troversy has come to an end. There i;
nothing further for Archbishop Corrigan to

the functions ofhis calling. The Archbishop
can only be compelled to assign some other
parish to him, in case DR.. McGlynn should
appeal to Rome and his appeal be granted
That, however, does not seem to be the
Doctors intention, and as he has refused tc
90 to Rome, even after the Archbishop Of
fered to defray all his expenses, the question
seems settled 80 far as the Catholic Church
is concerned.
